Is that a flow control valve on the side of the tower?

Looks like a hydraulic cylinder below the exhaust pipe.

Best I can figure out . It is a 1969 444 PK . And that is the side mounted lift cylinder and the lift control arm we are seeing . Can anyone confirm or deny that?

Dave

Is that a JI Case shovel?

When I go to the C/L site and click on the pic it enlarges it. It does look like a cylinder and lift lever on the right side, which David has noted. I only know what I know, and I've never seen one on the right side before. Have other members seen a lift cylinder on the right side before?

It appears that the same person is posting the 444 and the two 222's. Probably the right person could offer a package deal and acquire all three. I'm not that person for obvious reasons!

He claims it is a 1969 444 PK and on the right side there is the lever and lift cylinder .
<img src="http://domania.us/gts-today/tractor/69- ... ator-a.jpg" alt="Photo of Two Case 444 Garden Tractors"/> Here is another example I found .
I still learning the Case blood lines , but it looks to me like Case took the 195 chassis , changed the hood and added the hydraulic lift and called them Performance Kings PK . I read somewhere that the Elephant Ear rear fenders were only on the 69 - 70 year PK tractors. I have never seen any ,but if this is correct . They must be rare . Maybe one of the long time Colt Case Ingersoll gurus could shine some light on this .

When you zoom into the CL picture, the lever goes into the tower. Just looks like a flow control valve in the small picture above. A factory flow control valve is probably worth the listing price.

This is what the flow control valves look like:

This is a 1970 444, one year after the PK models. And yes that is a hydraulic lift control that you see.

How do you tell the difference ?
